Atherosclerosis, previously believed to be an irreversible progressive disease, can be reversed if risk factors are contolled early enough

This disease, which can trigger sudden death in elite athletes, is caused by genetic mutations that affect proteins responsible for connecting and coordinating the muscle cells (myocytes) in the myocardium the heart’s muscular wall

A multicenter study published in JAMA Cardiology and co-led by scientists at Hadassah Medical Center, Sheba Medical Center, and the CNIC could help in the design of future pharmacological treatments for bicuspid aortic valve

The new study, published in Nature Cardiovascular Research, will help to select the most effective and safe way to modulate angiogenesis in ischemic tissues or in cancer

A CNIC study reveals that mutations previously identified in the gene MINDBOMB1 (MIB1) as causing non-compaction cardiomyopathy either provoke this disease or valve defects, depending on their combination with mutations in modifier genes

The mixing of mitochondrial DNAs (mtDNAs) of two distinct origins can have damaging medium- and long-term effects, according to the results of a new study published in Circulation
